When ANR leaps into action (in a default configuration) through outlook address book query, it will search the following attribute fields of the Active Directory...
First Name (GivenName)
Last Name (Surname)
Display Name (displayName)
LegacyExchangeDN
msExchMailNickname
Relative Distinguished Name of the object (RDN)
Office (physicalDeliveryOfficeName)
E-mail address (proxyAddress)
Security Account Manager account (sAMAccountName)
You will get better idea from below couple of articles and how to add attributes into indexing...
